Here's a quick FAQ to help clear things up

What is Tad?

Tad is a new way to support content creators on Youtube. Instead of donating cash, Tad allows your fans to donate time (something they likely have more of than cash!).Tad is an app that lets your fans choose to watch a few high quality, high value, video ads on your behalf.

What am I asking my viewers to do?
If you become a Tad creator, you'll ask your fans to support you by watching one or two video ads in a new mobile app called Tad (iOS and Android). Fans will watch video ads within the mobile app on your behalf. This current version of Tad is just a prototype app to get a feel of the flow - the fully redesigned version is in development.

Wait, did you say I'm asking my viewers to watch ads?
Yes. Based on what we've seen, viewers want to support the creators they care about. Some viewers are willing to donate cash (Patreon, tip jars), but many more are willing to watch ads on a creator's behalf.
The way we've structured ads in Tad - easy to use, viewer chooses ad category, gives feedback on ads - is more valuable to advertisers, which means we can send more money to creators and viewers need to watch far fewer ads overall. It's definitely a new approach to ads, which is why having the right creators partnering with Tad is so important to us.

What do I need to do to promote Tad and receive payments?
First of all, you don't need to do much to get started with Tad. We'll give you a Tad URL that will allow your viewers to download Tad and begin watching ads your behalf. You can stick the Tad URL in the description of videos just to get a sense of how many people begin using it. We'll let you know how many people are watching ads for you. We'll also send you weekly ad payments via PayPal or another method you'd like.
